Jeff Bagwell Retires
After 15 years with the Houston Astros, Jeff Bagwell was finally forced to retire because of an arthritic shoulder. He was one of the good guys in the game. It's too bad that more guys in sports today aren't like Jeff Bagwell.

I've been a huge Bags fan since 4th grade ('95?). At the time, it was only because of his cool batting stance and that he was the reigning NL MVP, but as I became older and wiser I remained a fan because of his class and commitment to the Astros (same with Biggio). As you said, there should be more like him.
On the cute side, I named my old dog because of Bagwell. I was big into baseball at the time as I played a lot and kept score with my dad for his rotisserie team. I wanted to be Bagwell so bad that I named my dog Biggio, who at the time batted number 2 in front of Bags. Despite the fact she was a girl (I was a lil kid), she was to be Biggio and I Bagwell. And for this reason, I will always be indebted to both Biggio and Bagwell. Lastly, it's a shame the two of them could not win a World Series together with the franchise they were devoted to.
